Chapter 5 – Sumitranandan Pant

Well, there can be such a person who does not want to go to the mountains. Those people who do not get a chance to go to the distant Himalayas, do not leave any opportunity to go to the hilly areas around them. When you are remembering the mountains and in such a situation, if the poem of a poet makes you feel like sitting in the Class that you are just now walking through the mountains, then the matter is different.

The poem presented is also full of similar adventures and beautiful descriptions of nature, which will bring joy to both your eyes and mind. Not only this, while reading many poems of Sumitranandan Pant, it seems as if the walls around you have disappeared somewhere and you have reached some beautiful mountain place. Where there are mountains in the distance and there are springs flowing and you just want to be there.

Mahaprana Nirala ji had also said about Pant ji that his greatest talent is that he makes his creations more and more beautiful, which is a great pleasure to read or listen to.

The poet has described nature in this poem in such a way that it seems that nature has come alive. The poet says that the nature of nature is changing every moment in the rainy season, sometimes it rains and sometimes sunshine comes out. Thousands of flowers growing on the mountains seem as if mountains have eyes and they are looking at themselves in the mirror-like pond spread by their feet with the help of these eyes. The waterfalls falling from the mountains are making the melodious sound of yesterday, which is filling the veins with happiness. The trees growing on the mountains are looking at the calm sky as if they are trying to touch it. After the rain, the weather has become such that due to the dense mist, it seems as if the trees have blown away, that is, they have disappeared, due to the smoke all around, it seems that the pond has caught fire. It seems that in such weather, Indra is also carrying his cloud-like plane and roaming here and there, seeing a game of magic.

Chapter 6 – Mahadevi Verma

Through this poem, the poetess says that the lamp of my mind (faith in God), you sweetly and tenderly illuminate the path of knowledge. Spread your fragrance i.e. your goodness in the same way as an incense stick or incense stick spreads its fragrance. There should be no limit to your light and in this way, every molecule of your body of water should spread light in it, that is to say, the darkness of ignorance is very deep, so to remove it both body and mind should sacrifice.

The poetess says that the lamp of my mind, you keep on burning enthralling everyone. Water in such a way that everyone asks you for a few particles of your fire, that is, everyone who needs knowledge should come to you. You give them such light or such knowledge that they are ready to go through anything. The knowledge should be such that it can be useful to everyone and no one should be burnt to ashes in it. That's why the poetess says that while the lamp is vibrating, in this way your effect of water should be on everyone. The poetess says that there are many stars burning in the sky but they do not have a love like a lamp because they have light but they cannot illuminate the world. On the other hand, the ocean full of water keeps burning his heart because despite having so much water, that water is of no use to anyone and clouds rain with the help of lightning on the whole world, in the same way, the poetess says that in my mind Let the lamp of you go on doing good to others, not your own.
